instructions for removing spare tire from the
carrier.
Swing-Down Carrier
–If equipped
WARNING
Do not lie beneath tire carrier while
removing tire. The tire and carrier
assembly are heavy.
• Support tire carrier with a jack or block while
removing wire pin and wing nut from bolt at
front of carrier.

wheel to carrier bracket.

Recovery Towing
When calling a professional towing service,
we recommend that you advise them of your
coach length and approximate front axle weight
listed on your Vehicle Certification Label. This
will allow the towing operator to determine the
proper towing equipment to use.
We recommend that you ask for an underlift
(wheel lift or frame lift) type towing assembly for
safe towing.
Winnebago Industries does not assume
responsibility for damage incurred while towing
this vehicle.
NOTE: Consult the chassis manual for any
additional towing instructions or
precautions provided by the chassis
manufacturer.
SAFETY / PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
Do not lift on bumper. Damage will result
to front end body parts.
WARNING
Stay out from beneath the motor home
while it is suspended by the towing
assembly unless the vehicle is
adequately supported by safety stands.
Do not allow passengers to occupy a
towed vehicle.

JUMP STARTING

If your coach will not start from the chassis
battery, try using the battery boost switch to
divert power from the house batteries to the
starter. (See either "Battery Boost Switch" or
"Aux Start Switch.")
If you wish to try jump starting the engine
using another vehicle or booster system, see your
chassis manual for connecting jumper cables to
the automotive electrical system.
WARNING
Do not attempt to push start this vehicle.
Damage to the transmission or other
parts of the vehicle will occur.

ENGINE OVERHEAT

If you see or hear steam escaping from the
engine compartment or have any other reason to
suspect an extreme engine overheating condition,
pull the vehicle over to the roadside as soon as it
is safe to do so, stop the engine and get all
passengers out of the vehicle.
